More about the DCIM Minor

Complementing any major, the minor in Digital Communication, Information, and Media (DCIM) is designed to offer professional experiences in digital media communication and information management. You will learn how to judge which digital toolkits are effective in a variety of contexts and how to use those tools to advance particular messages and goals. You will also be prepared to lead in digital environments by gaining a combination of technical, analytical, interpersonal and entrepreneurial skill sets and learning how to evaluate, organize and produce a variety of forms of communication and information.

Courses in the program offer a strong theoretical background in interpersonal communication, information management, and media and design, along with grounding in real-world scenarios, projects and missions so that skills can be tested and refined. The courses are offered in a hybrid format, with half of the experience online and half in the classroom, to help you learn to transition seamlessly from face-to-face interactions to digital interactions with professional poise. A final capstone course will help you integrate what you have learned with your major or other area of interest and produce a high-quality, professional-level digital project.
